RACE COMMENT
Placed in four of her six starts to date, NONIS GOLD CLASS (3) might have finally found the set up for a breakthrough victory. Runner-up to the talented DESIRIING DIAMONDS at her past three in succession, she has shown good tape manners in each appearance and gets every chance. BLACK VIPER (1) found the pocket trail last start and chased home to be 3m from the winner DESIRING DIAMONDS which has subsequently won again. Chasing that same winner two starts back when 3rd, he can find the right trip to issue the challenge. SERENA LOVE (5) made a costly error last start and was banished to the trials. Earning the return after two clear trials, she finds a small field and the right conditions to bounce back.
